This one worked. Thank you a lot !!

I don't know why with one comma it does not work.

I'd like to know too. My guess would be that some dbus calls can have an extra parameter (third position) there.

The main thing that I was missing since I didn't want to log out was to run this command to reconfig kwin:

qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin reconfigure

Then the change took effect.

You can see what's done in this GUI script I made: https://invent.kde.org/thiagosueto/kdialogscripts/-/blob/master/meta-overview.bash

Unless something changed in the last few versions, these should work.
